Lgiń is a holiday village in the Lubusz Voivodeship, known for its rich history dating back to at least the 14th century, when it was mentioned in documents as Ylegin. Located near Wschowa, the village has witnessed numerous political changes, from being a ducal property to transforming into a noble estate associated with local families such as the Lgińskis and Opalińskis. Archaeologists have discovered traces of four settlements in its vicinity, dating from the 10th to the 13th century, indicating long-term habitation in the region. In the 16th century, the village was an important border point between the Crown of the Kingdom of Poland and the Duchy of Głogów. From an architectural perspective, Lgiń stands out with its historic parish church dedicated to St. Bartholomew the Apostle, dating back to the 15th century, which was rebuilt in brick, and a manor complex from the mid-19th century, including a park and a birch alley. The village also features lakes surrounded by forests, making Lgiń an attractive recreational destination. These elements, combined with the charming landscape, attract tourists, offering beach areas, water equipment rentals, and a scout station with extensive infrastructure.
